Pros

The pay is decent enough though you can get more elsewhere. If you work with the big accounts the job is very easy as most of them are so locked into Oracle there is no avoiding chosing them, if you cover SMB (tech GB as its known) you are in for a very long hard slog. Training is amazing and they do support you to grow professionally

Cons

You will never see a pay raise so make sure you get the best possible salary when you join. If you work in the SMB space its a very diffrent story Oracle hope to grow this area however they are priced out of the market, there is alot of stress on the SMB team and no clear direction from management every year they change the structure and hope the fall over one that works. Due to the size of the comapny it can be more difficult to sell a solution internally than to the customer and can (and most often is) very painful and slow. If you are considering moving from abroad to dublin to cover the UK (or any other as we cover most of europe) market, you should think again Ireland seems like it might be fun but its not, its backward, the cost of living is insane, dont get sick here either or you will be poor for the rest of your life, the one thing there is plenty of is drink, but even that is being shut now at 2am. If you are a family you are ok theres alot of countryside and the country is nice, if you are single think hard before commiting.

Pros

Oracle is an industry leader and it has great name recognition so it easily opens doors.The management is very supporive of the Inside Sales function and that makes a better environment as a launchpoint for success. The benefits are very good which is a blessing in todday's environment. As part of the Utilities group marketing into a fairly recession proof sector, job stability seems to be pretty solid. Innovation around products and the creation of marketing collateral to support the sales efforts is quite high class and allows us to present ourselves as technology anf thought leaders. In all, a pretty good place to land.

Cons

Working for a large company like Oracle, it's sometimes frustrating to be simply a small link is a very large machine. Bureaucracy makes it difficult if not impossible to bnreak out and try innovative approaches since there may be risk associated with these new things. There tends to be a mind set of, let's just tick the box and say we did it, instead of a culture of excellence where not only did we do something but we did it very well. This acceptance of mediocrity is easy to hide in a large organization and stifles innovation and the ability to create gound breaking messaging.
